Summary: Useful even for the "Just a hunter" crowd too
Review: I found that a bunch of the fieldcraft taught in this book has helped my hunting a LOT. Let's face it, I'm never going to be a sniper, but I am interested in 2 things1)Accurate rifle and their use
2)How to hunt better A lot of the tricks taught here will make you a better hunter - in fact, it's probably better than most of the hunting books out there

Summary: The definitive text in its field
Review: I have read all of the current literature on police and military precision rifle and find this work the most useful and comprehensive. The army should have let the Major write FM 23-1

Summary: Plaster pleases
Review: I read this at night just before going to sleep, not because it puts to sleep but that its so damned enjoyable that even the crummiest day can end well!
Very nice logical step by step instruction and teaching on kit and tactics. Everything explained thoroughly in a very well balanced way. If Plaster has a personal opinion he gives the reason for it and leaves you to decide yourself. Watch out though it will be in the wee hours before you realise what time it is. An excellent read for all those interested in this discipline.

Summary: Very Good Introduction ot the Field
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I pick it up and at least glance at it every other day. Many aspects of sniping is covered. I spoke to a United States Marine Sniper about this book and he really emphasized that this book is very basic. I happen to agree for many reasons. The ghillie suit instructions could have been done much better. Even a civilian like me know that ghillie suits can be much better than what is written in the book. This book covers BASIC marksmanship very well. Even the stuff that is labelled "advanced" is still very basic. There are many helpful bits in this book. I thought that the camouflage section was covered in not enough depth. The counter-sniper section was a pretty good introduction. Major Plaster has done a very good job at presenting the world of the sniper through this book. Though this book won't make the "Ultimate Sniper" it will educate people pretty well. Let's face it, if you aren't an active military/police sniper this book won't be very practical for you. Keep in mind that snipercraft is a very deadly art where people can get killed. This book give many bits of information about how police and military snipers are trained. This book will not give you enough training to be a sniper, as no book on the market will. Make sure you know the laws and regulations about wearing ghillie suits and weapons because you can break the law by using some of the techniques that this book teaches. Remember that this book is for information purposes or at the most a helful guide at the shooting range (though that is not authorized by the author).

Summary: The very informative marksmansship book
Review: I think that this book is very well written and put together. The author only deals with a few calibers of rifle so be warned. Aside from that, this book is bursting with imformation. The author examines every facet of sniping and includes many pictures and diagrams to help. He also includes a wide veriety of tables and charts to help you when your in the field. I really think that the author knows what he is talking about. He doesn't just pull numbers off ther shelf and put them into the book to make it look like he knows what he's doing. There are several times where he explains how he tested ammunition and camo. If you are really interested in knowing how to be a sniper/marksman this is the book for you.
